My new babies have arrived!!!

AND NO... i haven't adopted new children!!!
But close enough... i think i have as much pride as I would, had i adopted new children!
My garden is slowly becoming fruitful! WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!
It is our first, so I was trying to be patient and understanding in case things didn't rise to the occasion.
But alas, i am seeing new babies. And they are ooooohhhh so cute!!! It really makes me squeal with love.
These (2) cute little crooked neck squash arrived a couple days ago... they probably are my favorite of all the babies (sorry, i know you shouldn't have favorites!)

The zucchini have taken off and almost taken over! They have been the most plentiful and for the longest time.

Check out this new green pepper (our first). I just discovered her tonight and she made me squeal as well. She is so precious.




This is one of the only two tomatoes from my large tomato plants so far. He is hanging in there (no pun intended).


We have only had 3 of these little guys so far. And they are only about 1 inch long and might have 2 to 3 peas inside, if we are lucky.



This is Ashton's own cherry tomato plant that he got from Granny. It is doing remarkably well. He probably now has 15 or so little cherry tomatoes growing... he is just waiting patiently for them to turn red.




We have had one of our strawberry plants do well. We have probably had 4 or 5 ripe, red, sweet strawberries. They are beauties. So much fun!








The PROGRESSION OF THE GARDEN....



The day we planted... May 8th




June 1st





June 24th (sorry it is a bit dark)
***But as you can tell the garden is flourishing and it is so fun to discover new babies all the time. I'll keep you tabbed on new progressions!! And if you live close by- i think I'll have some zucchini in the near future if you are interested...just stop on by! (I am being serious too...)
